Very clever

big_wig_074

what?

petermintrst

very interesting.....what bhp are you running? im assuming that type r was standard although we dont know

Dave GTi

Thats wat i like to see...Novas rule!!!

Bodge22

Errrrrrrrrrr let me see 122MPH on public roads, very responsible

Keith B

Fun, wouldnt say you had him though. Looked like you jsut braked later than he did for the roundabout. God I miss driving in the UK

big_wig_074

a bit like you advertising beating up other football teams? its my road car,thats what i want to do! and looking at some of your previous posts it would seem that you wouldnt have said that if it was a 900bhp supra against a busa at speeds over 160mph!hmmm....

big_wig_074

i was catching him SLOWLY! but then i had the bottle!i was still chuffed with the performance of it tho!

petermintrst

what power big wig?

big_wig_074

pretty std actually,got told it was big bhp,but have found out the last owner was lying,so no more than 160 odd bhp i wouldve thought!

petermintrst

then you did pretty well then. heard a 180bhp rst can stay with a type r, looks like 160 in a nova is enough.

big_wig_074

yeah they rock
200bhp coming soon!

petermintrst

i've only had a standard 82bhp sri with an ashley system. liked it alot. if i got the chance to own a 2.0 i would......enjoy

Er little different mate, football and speeding

big_wig_074

er...a little different,football and beating people up!
i drive cars fast,i am aware of the dangers,im sorry,i do it,along with every other person on this board,youre telling me you have NEVER broken the speed limit? actually no,you were probably hitting someone over the head with a bat because they wore a different football shirt to you!dont lecture me when youre advertising violence!

petermintrst

its not the speed that causes accidents its the situations that the speeds are done in. if it was a mega busy road then i wouldnt be impressed but it was a straight relitively empty road, no prob whatsoever. but to be honest if we went down the pointless argument road re speeding we'd be here for ever.

i think the point of post was so everyone can laugh at the fact a nova can keep up with a civic type r that everyone seems to rave about.....christ they are commen lol

im not keen on novas, and in the past i have even said i hate them, but not as much as i fucking hate football, proppa shit game that could get you killed if your sad engough.

anyway i have slighty changed my opinion of novas, yours looks pretty rapid there greg

but football is still bollcoks!

BM08

im with him, you were about the same speed, just you jumped on the brakes later which isnt surprising.

Impressed with that nova though

Mr Shannon

Nova's are awesome!!

I miss my 230bhp little white monster, would nail a ctr any day, probably annoy a few cossie aswell

Bodge22

big_wig_074 You may well be aware of the dangers. What about the innocent person you smash into, who's driving within the limit? As for you veiws on my sig, Football is a game and that's what it means Arsenal beating other teams in the league! If you read anything else into it, then i suppose that's just the way a bloke who thinks it's fine to do 122 mph on the public roads, mind works.

Think i've said enough on this matter, like petermintrst said this argument will just go round and round. I just hope you never have to find out what it's like, when you've caused some serious injury cos you thought it was FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

rsturboben

sorry but i hate nova's, but credit to ya!

petermintrst

i'd love someone to manufactuer speed limiters for cars and set them at 80mph, the extra 10mph ove the limit for overtaking, and anyone who preaches about speeding and is against speeding would chose to fit one to their car. as an incentive the drivers who chose to fit one would get say a 10% reduction on insurance.

i speed and wouldnt fit one.

i could also guarentee that a very small percentage of limiters sold would be to rs or other performance vehicle owners.

Bodge22

petermintrst I would be lying if i said i didn't like to go fast otherwise i wouldn't have an RS! However i never speed on the road, as most of the time i have my baby daughter in the car with me. I save the speeding for the trackdays where it's legal and safer!

Greg Shepherd

nice one you did well

petermintrst

im sure you wouldnt go fast with a baby in the back, that would be silly. but, if when there is a road as full/empty as the one on the clip and you boot it to get the buzz from the power, do u take your foot of b4 you hit 100ish? and if a mr type r driver has a go, would you try and show him up, especially if he was a bit of a co*k. if u do accelarate then stop b4 90/100 ish then u are very disaplined and if they were available would have no problem fitting a speed limiter to your car, at that point many people would be willing to take a telling off re speeding from u. but it is difficult for many of us to comprehend any rs driver never speeding.

i've read over what i've put and i think its making sense. i love getting on my high horse and telling people off for speeding if given the chance, but if i sit back and think.....'sh*t i did exactly the same thing xxx days ago etc'

Bodge22

I would have to say i never speed and never get pulled into road racing, i like my licence to much and i need it clean for my job. Being an HGV driver i've seen some pretty shit driving and some very bad accidents!

However i love motorsports and love to go fast so save it for my track days and i also race rotax max karts. So don't really need to drive like a c**t on the roads!

petermintrst

after that post i actually believe you.

i know full well i need to grow up and get real!. if i get caught one time over 100 and thats it, i know what is wrong/not wrong but still sometimes do it.

all i can say is i never risk other peoples cars/lives.

Remember that post "how quick are civic type-r's" and everyone slated them saying they are piss poor and slow in a straight line.

Well does that mean a nova valver thats stripped out is fooking shit slow also , think about it i think a bog standard production car with full interior and a 2.0 non turbo motor that can hold of a striped out nova valver is hardly shit slow

I know i owned a nova valver and now own a integra type-e and if the road was longer the ctr would have pulled a big gap as they are quicker top end

Nice shooting though

sounds like its bouncing off the thing 2 seconds into the vid
